New Digs

I went to visit NS yesterday. I felt like the transfer student...new building, new rules, new state test, new people, new way of doing everything! Luckily, I think it will be a great place to work at. I get my own classroom with a smartboard, I have great classes ( Algebra 1 and Geometry), and people seem very nice. I can't wait to go in and start setting up the room. The only bad thing is that I can't have a coffee pot in my room. I'll have to walk all the way to the teacher's lounge for my java.(I was spoiled at OS). It's the price you pay for new digs!
